Birth to 6 years old

6/7 to 9 yrs old

9/10 to 12

13 and current huge changes

Born in May 4 2007, a very stormy day. A single child. Mother was a teacher at that time, and Father was a Captain of container ships, so wasn't here and in the ocean every 5 or 4 months.

When I was 3, I attended Total Learning Academy, which is the same school I have been attending till now. There was Champs, Leaders, and Senior. When I was in Senior, my cousin sister stayed in the same grade as me for some reasons even though she was supposed to be in a higher grade. ever since then she had always been in the same class as me even till now.

When I was 4, I joined a Math Learning Center called Kumon, which was the first ever class I have joined outside the school. I had never joined any ballet class or anything ever since I was born.

When I was still a newborn baby I had Hepatitis B, a condition where my skins were really yellow, so I had a phototherapy ... ,

General stuff

In my very first birthday, the most deadliest and disastrous cyclone in Myanmar's recorded history called Nargis moved in the country. Since it was still very near, the birthday was a very stormy day. Maybe that's why I have been scared of storms.

After finishing the kindergarten, I had changes of friends in classes and campuses.

After attending school in that campus for 3 years, I had to change campuses once again.

When I was in Primary 3 I finally moved to this current campus. At that time, only 5 friends including my cousin from that campus changed, so I met a class full of new people in the new campus. The current technology in school like the IQ board were first installed in our school at that time, so we also took our time adapting to them.

That was when I made my first best friend (from memory). I went to my friends' house for the first time, and my parents became close.

It was the first time that campus had 3rd graders, so we were the only class from that grade in the whole school. from what I remember, being a 3rd grader was really fun since the teachers and the friends were really kind as well. I also quitted Kumon along with my cousin after 3 years of attending it in a pretty high level. The homework and lessons from there was really different from the school, so we had difficulties to manage both or so we thought.

At Primary 4, another campus and some more students from my old campus were transferred. I remembered making so many more friends, and I had so much fun with my new classmates as well ( or it was rather chaotic with all the new people). It was when all the tension of being in school started.

At Primary 5 the real chaos started as all the campus from our grade and a grade older in the city was combined. It was hard trying to reunite with my friends from a few years ago. At that grade, I realized how much Kumon had impacted my math skills, so my mom decided to put me back in Kumon again. I really didn't want to, but since my cousin was attending with me as well, I agreed.

At Primary 6, it looked like the teachers had hard time trying to arrange the classes, and we had new classes again. This time I was with all the different campuses combined unlike the last 3 years, so having the new classmates was fun.

Outside my school life, I didn't really had much big events, but when I was about 12, I found my very first hobby of drawing. My mom's friend's daughter attended an art class, so I attended it with her for a year and a half. It was very effective, and I had made new experiences since that was the first time I joined something without my cousin.

I also joined ballet class with my cousin for 1 or 2 months and performed on a stage not from school for the first time although I wasn't flexible at all.

Finally becoming a secondary I had always admired, was a huge change.

I have lived 98% of my life till now in an extended family of 13 people along with my cousins, grandmother, aunts and uncles, parents all from my mother side. For some reasons, everyone from my mother side starting from my grandparents lives there, so it never felt boring as a single child. I have three cousins: a younger brother and an older sister only by 6 months who were siblings and a cousin older brother by 4 years who is also a single child.

Becoming a teenager, I was suddenly immersed into the entertainment world of Anime, movies, Kpop and music.

Most of my classmates weren't moved into other classes in Secondary 1. I felt like I had a whole new different perspective of the world at then. It felt scarier and more interesting at the same time.

My grades throughout my years weren't that bad either.

Secondary 1 was alright till 2020, and the pandemic started. It was really troublesome since I couldn't go out much or travel at all. My last travel was to Shan State on 2018 in the winter.

At Primary 3, I travelled out of the country for the first time to Bangkok, Thailand. It was due to my mother's cancer, so she had to go there every 6 months in summer and winter. I would follow her every time I can.

Currently I am stil in Secondary 2, but so many things have happened this year. Due to the pandemic, school became online classes, and a few classmates had moved schools. On November a house three story high which my mom and dad built was finished, so we had to move into this new house. That was a huge change since I had been living all y 13 years in that other house. Since my mom and dad built it, only the three of us were moving. My parents move in as soon as it was finished, but I couldn't bring myself to follow them, so I lived a month more with the rest of my family. Our bedroom was soon going to be owned by my older cousin.

After a month, I tried to look over everything and felt bad for my parents, since they wanted me to stay with them, so I made a decision to live with them in the weekdays, and come back at the weekend until I feel comfortable to move completely. My parents' home had a bedroom just for me, and there were also new things that weren't in the other house which made me feel overwhelmed. I stayed in my bedroom to watch Anime when I'm bored and tried hard to adapt to the whole new sudden change.

Going back to the pandemic, I found out how much freedom I had when there wasn't any virus to be worried about back a year ago. After moving in by the New Year, the Covid 19 cases started to drop, and we were starting to regain the freedom again. However, just when the cases were nearly zero a new situation related to the military started, and it felt like it was worse than the pandemic. I couldn't go out at all, so I have been staying in the new house till now. A month after that situation initiated, my cousins' family with the two siblings and the mom temporarily moved in our house, for protection since the polices were finding for doctors, and their mom was a doctor.

I had always been a quiet and a kind type of student at school or other places, since I was scared to talk to others since I have a fear of embarrassing myself or being perceived as a selfish and a bad person. Nevertheless my personality at home varies a lot.
